I’m here, but this is beyond my technical knowledge – I was hoping that Stephen would pick this up, but he hasn’t – he may be away, or think that I have it under control 🙂

Ok, so with no other plugins and 2.54 you have this problem??

I have 2.54 with twentyten and no issues, permalinks are topic title.

So must be peculiar to your site – so something needs setting/resetting, and obviously permalinks aren’t the answer as they’re working with wordpress. So bbpress is not playing nicely.

How much of a test area do you have that you can try stuff in?

Hi!

I’m searching for a bbproles field in the wordpress/bbpress database but with no luck. In wich table and row are they stored? What I want to do is create a form who change the user role if an “update user role code” facilitated by forum admin is correct.

Thank you very much in advance for your replies. 🙂

Hi,

I work on a WordPress Theme with bbpress integration and the user account are linked with the forums. But the Avatars are not working properly.
If the users use facebook connect to create their account, bbpress use their facebook avatar, whether they change their account avatar or not. I want to customize code to make sure bbpress always use the user account avatar but I can’t find where is the logic behind this.
Can you give me some elements as to where I need to make modifications?

Thanks!

I’m having a problem with this still, in bbpress 2.5.3, WordPress 3.9.1, Buddypress 2.0.1

In a public forum associated with a site, logged-in Buddpyress users who are not a member of that individual site get a 404 error because they don’t have ‘spectate’ privileges.
Is that expected behaviour?
N.B. I have tweaked things so that visiting users are *not* automatically set up with a site role. I only give them bbp_participant status if they already have a role in the blog site. Is that the issue?

In debugging, I notice that in bbpress/includes/users/capabilities.php the visiting bbpress user who is not a member of the site is mapped a list of capabilities, including ‘specate’. However, in bbp_forum_enforce_blocked, the capabilities of the WordPress user are checked for spectate, not the bbp user. Hence the 404. If I check for the bbp user’s capabilities inside bbp_forum_enforce_blocked, they have been reset in any case.

Can anyone give guidance on this? Thanks.

My site is a membership site, using SSL.

For a user who want to cancel the membership, I set his user role from “admin panel” > “users”
as below;

Site Role
– No role for this site –

Forum role
– No role for these forums –

After this setting, a withdrawal user logged in, the setting of “Forum role” was automatically backed and changed to;

Forum role
– Participant –

“Site Role” is remained as I’ve set.
(I’m setting “Participant” as a default member’s role.)

How could I validly keep setting “Forum role” for a withdrawal user to “- No role for these forums -” ?

[Stephen Edgar]

I have just added a patch, you need r5409 applied before adding 2618.4.diff

[seanwes]

Changeset 5409 fixed it for me.

However, I still have the following issue:

My website is seanwes.com. Notifications are now coming from noreply@eanwes.com (notice no ‘s’).

I have the proper address hardcoded in the mean time.

Yes, Mandrill don’t like the angle brackets in front of the email address.

The patch that I made for this just got merged into bbPress trunk https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2618

Bcc’ing all subscribers didn’t cause any issue with mandrill for me after I removed the angle brackets from the do_not_reply email address.

and (hopefully) fixed !!

Can you download from 1.8.1 from

bbp Private Groups

and ensure it’s working for you ! I’ll then upload it to wordpress

Hi, I recently installed bbPress and BuddyPress to create a forum. Everything is looking great so far except the /forums page. It is not displaying correctly. I am using the Interface Theme (free WordPress theme) which supports both bbPress and BuddyPress. You can see the problem below:

http://www.meowmethod.com/forums

The forum topics ARE working, so my problem is only with the forums page.

http://www.meowmethod.com/forums/forum/test-forum/

Troubleshooting:
*** The problem goes away when I activated the 2014 WordPress Theme, but I don’t want to use that one. So I am inclined to believe that it might be a theme problem. ***
I don’t have a forums wordpress page created (problem occurs with one created). The problem persists with BuddyPress deactivated.

I would appreciate any opinions and advice !!
Thanks in advance 🙂

I am using WordPress Version 3.9.1
and the latest version of bbPress (installed today).

[rsg2]

hello

i have a wordpress site with bbpress installed. i have 3 subforums in bbpress. on the homepage of my wordpress site, i would like to list out those 3 forums with the lastest 5 posts from each.

please take a look at this image:

the styling doesn’t have to look like the attached as long as i can list out the individual subforums and 5 of its most recent posts.

i have setup 3 columns with ability to put shortcodes.

i tried using some of the shortcodes provided by bbpress with no luck.

SOS please!!! i’m running out of options…lol

thanks in advance,

chris

[valuser]

Hi,

@netweb many thanks for the info:

If you use WordPress 4.0.x (Any alpha or beta of the next version of WordPress) bbPress will not work, we are currently investigating this.

Please post when this issue has been resolved.

no joy to-date – on test local installs – but no pain either!

[shanebp]

WordPress 3.9.1
BP 2.0.1

Sorry, but it’s a dev site created by the client so I can’t publish the url.
It’s on a shared account at Bluehost.

The ‘from’ on received emails is [account name]@box557.bluehost.com

The site_url and home_url are the same and use ‘www’.

I can test bbpress patches.

[elis85]

hi,
i’m working with the wordpress 3.9.1 site network installation.
i have installed the bbpress plugin version 2.5.4 and added the Hebrew mo and po files from wordpress.org and changed their name to bbpress-he_il.mo and bbpress-he_il.po.
also checked that the wp-config has the define (‘WPLANG’, ‘he_il’); and checked that the language in the backend for the Hebrew site is set up to Hebrew.
I’m working with twentyten child theme but even if i change it to twentyten original theme the forum is still showing up in English.
i have tried everything and can’t find a solution.
anybody has any suggestions?

[Robin W]

hmm….

Ok, if I give you a new file, are you able to FTP it to a location within wordpress – ie do you know how to ftp !

[Morgensonne]

Thank you, Robin, for your feedback!!

I did that first. Surely 3 times. It remains as it is: The title is missing (reply to …………) and the permalink does not take the title, but the ID. Probably because there is no title! The field is empty.

I have just tested the following:

1) new WordPress posts: permalink is as it should be.
2) new post in the bbpress forum written in the admin area: permalink is as it should be.
3) new post in bbpress forum written in the forum area: permalink is as it should be.
4) reply to topic written in the forum area: permalink is incorrect (ID) and title is missing (field is empty)

The problem therefore only occurs when replies are written in the forum area!!

I’m getting quite desperate. I have no idea what I should do. 🙁
In the older forum replies all is correct and now suddenly it no longer works.

One more thing, please:
How does the option works in the bbpress-admin:”Create new answer”?
I can not set anywhere, on which post I want to write a reply…. (?)

Thanks for the help!

In fact, it is not the only trouble I have with bbPress search.

I’ve just found another one this afternoon choosing which widgets I should display in forum pages (forum index, topics, reply…):
– I’ve installed the plugin “Display Widget” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-widgets/).
– For widgets I want (or want not) to display on forum pages, I checked all Display Widget options related to forums in widgets areas.
–> It works perfectly everywhere, except on the bbpress result pages, I mean in pages where the result list is displayed after using the bbPress search functionality.

Then I wonder that the issue I told you about has really something to do with Private Groups.
Maybe you just can’t do anything for me…

regards
m.

[John James Jacoby]

Likely broke with 2.5.4 and our change to BCC headers:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2618

[shanebp]

bbpress 2.5.4
buddypress 2.0.1
WordPress 3.9.1

Logged in members are not getting reply email notifications.
Group forums are not being used.

Buddypress Activity mentions emails are being sent.
I can use wp_mail to send mails.

So it’s just bbpress that isn’t generating emails… any suggestions?

[Steve Truman]

Hi Guys

A conflict exists with bbPress and the WooSidebars plugin –

The conflict causes the whole forum to return a 503 Error. After much digging found the problem comes from this bbPress function

bbp_get_topic_title() function

and is fixed by changing

$title = get_the_title( $topic_id )

to

$topic = get_post( $topic_id );
$title = $topic->post_title;

Hope you can add that fix to your next version update – Thank you – Steve

[Morgensonne]

Hi,

today I have made the update to version 2.54. Now it works no longer correctly with permalinks (instead of the topic-title, now the ID will be used). The settings in WordPress are unchanged: title in the permalink. In wordpress-posts the permalinks works well as always. The problem is only in bbpress.

And one more thing:
Until the update it was always automatically included as the reply-title:
“Reply to: … (post title) …”.

Now, the field for the title in a reply to a post is always empty!
What’s going on? Until yesterday (before the update) everything was ok.
Please, give me your help.

Thank you very much says
Morgensonne

[rsbthebest]

What i mean is i am using bbpress on my wordpress site. It has forum and whenever someone post any thing some points are awarded to him using mcreed point system. But i dont want it to be over used.

So i want to impose restriction like :-

After posting 10 posts in a day the 11th post will not get any points

Or

A user can only post 10 post no more than that.

I will prefer the first one more!
Is there any way to do any of this? Pleas reply

[Stephen Edgar]

There is nothing you need to remove manually, if you go to Tools -> Forums -> Reset Forums all bbPress data will be deleted from the database.

If you are changing the user ID directly in the database and ‘do it wrong’ you are most certainly going to have permission and capability issues with the user ID.

You should create a new user, assign them the WordPress ‘Administrator’, then assign the bbPress role ‘Keymaster’. Logout of your current admin account and test your new admin account. If everything works and you have transferred any posts, pages, forums, topics, replies etc to the new user then go ahead and delete the old account once you have confirmed ‘all the things’.

Note: Your posts were being picked up as spam by Akismet for some reason that is why they didn’t show up.
